If $G$ is a compact group acting continuously on a compact metric space $(X, m)$, we prove two results that generalize Dirichlet's classical theorem on Diophantine approximation. If $G$ is a noncommutative compact group of isometries, we…

In the ordinary theory of Sobolev spaces on domains of $R^n$, the $p$-energy is defined as the integral of $|\nabla{f}|^p$. In this paper, we try to construct $p$-energy on compact metric spaces as a scaling limit of discrete $p$-energies…
We use porosity to study differentiability of Lipschitz maps on Carnot groups. Our first result states that directional derivatives of a Lipschitz function act linearly outside a $\sigma$-porous set. The second result states that irregular…
A finite element discretization using a method of lines approached is proposed for approximately solving the Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP) equations. This discretization scheme enforces positivity of the computed solutions, corresponding to…

Let $\cD$ be the Dirichlet space, namely the space of holomorphic functions on the unit disk whose derivative is square-integrable. We establish a new sufficient condition for a function $f\in\cD$ to be {\em cyclic}, i.e. for $\{pf:…
We report here new electrical laws, derived from nonlinear electro-diffusion theory, about the effect of the local geometrical structure, such as curvature, on the electrical properties of a cell. We adopt the Poisson-Nernst-Planck (PNP)…
We introduce a new approach to absolute continuity of laws of Poisson functionals. It is based on the {\it energy image density} property for Dirichlet forms and on what we call {\it the lent particle method} which consists in adding a…
We initiate the study of fine $p$-(super)minimizers, associated with $p$-harmonic functions, on finely open sets in metric spaces, where $1 < p < \infty$. After having developed their basic theory, we obtain the $p$-fine continuity of the…
